like vim or mutt. it's ugly but much faster than gui programs. The magic of apple are the looks. the magic of linux should be primary the usability.

I have a fiber optic internet line to my house. It's certainly been fast using IE or Firefox on Windows XP... but one day I booted to Ubuntu and fired up its version of Firefox, and all I could say was WOW. Blazing speed.

So I'm with you on this one.
